PHILHARMONIC COMMITTEES EDITION WINTER 2018/2019 Mark Your Calendars for Saturday, March 9, 2019! Soon after invitations were sent out for the Sixth Annual Philharmonic Orchestra Festival, fifteen Orange County high school orchestras quickly submitted their applications, confirming their desire to perform in the world-renown Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. The orchestra festival has developed a reputation of being well run and organized, with qualified adjudicators giving the music director valuable feedback—and 1,000 high school students a memorable experience. Four high schools have been a part of this festival for all six years: Tesoro, Mission Viejo, Beckman, and Aliso Niguel High Schools. We are also very excited about Irvine High School joining the festival this year for the first time. The remaining ten high schools are Esperanza, Capistrano, El Toro, Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts, Oxford Academy, Trabuco Hills, Los Alamitos, Santa Ana, San Juan Hills, and Marina. The hard working 2019 Festival Steering Committee includes: Sandi Wright- Cordes, Arden Dombrowski, Jean Felder, Joanne Fernbach, Jan Lawrence, Judy Michel, Patty Reilly, Karen Ridout, Toni Sobel, Mary Chelius and is chaired by Marlene Nielsen. Our adjudicators are Ulli Reiner, Orchestra Director of Poway Unified School District who has been with us for three years, and Michael Powers, guest conductor for the Orange County Youth Symphony. A comment from a high school orchestra director sums up the impact this event has on his students. “I’m always amazed at how my seemingly composed, poised, and slightly apathetic teenagers always ‘get up’ for this concert and leave the stage with a glow. It’s the highlight of our year!” Please help us reach our goal of filling the concert hall with an exuberant audience to provide grand applause for the students! For tickets and the performance schedule, go to the PhilharmonicSociety. org website or purchase tickets at the door the day of the event. Support the Orchestra Festival — as well as your local high school! • Plan ahead now and contact your Committee/Group members, friends, and family about supporting the students and giving them an appreciative audience. • Purchase the $15 ticket online at the PhilharmonicSociety.org website with the high school’s special promo code.

PHILHARMONIC COMMITTEES EDITION WINTER 2018/2019

Mark Your Calendars forSaturday, March 9, 2019!

Soon after invitations were sent out for the Sixth Annual Philharmonic Orchestra Festival, fifteen Orange County high school orchestras quickly submitted their applications, confirming their desire to perform in the world-renown Renée and Henry Segerstrom Concert Hall. The orchestra festival has developed a reputation of being well run and organized, with qualified adjudicators giving the music director valuable feedback—and 1,000 high school students a memorable experience.

Four high schools have been a part of this festival for all six years: Tesoro, Mission Viejo, Beckman, and Aliso Niguel High Schools. We are also very excited about Irvine High School joining the festival this year for the first time. The remaining ten high schools are Esperanza, Capistrano, El Toro, Huntington Beach Academy for the Performing Arts, Oxford Academy, Trabuco Hills, Los Alamitos, Santa Ana, San Juan Hills, and Marina.

The hard working 2019 Festival Steering Committee includes: Sandi Wright-Cordes, Arden Dombrowski, Jean Felder, Joanne Fernbach, Jan Lawrence, Judy Michel, Patty Reilly, Karen Ridout, Toni Sobel, Mary Chelius and is chaired by Marlene Nielsen. Our adjudicators are Ulli Reiner, Orchestra Director of Poway Unified School District who has been with us for three years, and Michael Powers, guest conductor for the Orange County Youth Symphony.

A comment from a high school orchestra director sums up the impact this event has on his students. “I’m always amazed at how my seemingly composed, poised, and slightly apathetic teenagers always ‘get up’ for this concert and leave the stage with a glow. It’s the highlight of our year!”

Please help us reach our goal of filling the concert hall with an exuberant audience to provide grand applause for the students!

For tickets and the performance schedule, go to the PhilharmonicSociety.org website or purchase tickets at the door the day of the event.

Sixty Years of Service and Funby Lisa de Lorimier

The Lido Isle Com-mittee gathered to celebrate 60 years of service and support for the Philharmonic Soci-ety of Orange County. Committee members enjoyed a special anniversary cake and looked through de-cades of memories in scrapbooks and clip-pings. In addition to the installation of new offi cers, they began looking toward the next 60 years!

Not only do the Lido ladies party, they bring the Music Mobile to the Newport-Mesa school children. They drove the van near the front of the Lido community’s

Fourth of July parade to promote the Philharmonic program, with Sousa marches playing from the boom box mounted on the hood of the vehicle. Marching with the Music Mobile were members of the Lido Isle Committee waving American fl ags and happily shouting greetings to their friends and neighbors.

The Search Goes OnThe Philharmonic House of Design,

under the year-round leadership of La Casa Committee, is a countywide fundraiser and by far The Committees major contributor of funds to our Youth Music Programs over the years. The Holiday House and House of Design together raised a total of over $260,000 in the 2017-18 fi scal year. The House of Design Steering Committee includes leadership from members of La Casa and other Committees. Tickets sold by our Committee members provided the largest source of income to the fundraisers. All Committees are thanked for their support!

The 2019 HOD search committee has not yet found a home. If anyone has a lead on a large home that might be appropriate, please contact Joanne [email protected].

P resident’sC ornerby Mary Chelius, President of The Committees

Music has been an integral part of my life. As I think about The Committees, volunteering, and programs, these songs and thoughts came to mind:

“These Are A Few Of My Favorite (Phil) Things “Volunteers who sign up, show up, and share joy by:o Having a can-do attitude and a smileo Creating fundraising and organizing impromptu eventso Graciously extending hospitality for monthly meetingso Showing contagious enthusiasm that grows membershipo Enriching young lives with youth concerts, programs, and special

celebrationso Coordinating/running the spectacular Huntington Harbour Cruise of

Lights®

“Give Thanks with a Grateful Heart”Thankfulness and appreciation shown to:o The Executive Committee and Board of Directors’ leaders for their hours of

faithful serviceo The Philharmonic staff for their valuable assistance with treasurers, PR

communication, and marketing expertise o Tommy Phillips, our new President and Artistic Director, for his vision of

“The Beat Goes On”Our amazing opportunities for community engagement with:o The outstanding youth concerts and programs o High School Orchestra Festivalo Committee fundraiserso Continuing learning with Classical Music 101o Supporting a House of Design

“Amazing Grace”Quote To Take To Heart: “It’s amazing how much can be accomplished if no one cares who gets the credit.” John Woodeno “If only we would cease our own sometimes self-focused hustle and bustle

long enough to see where others need help.” Karen Ehman in Listen, Love, Repeat

Past President Marlene Nielsen presents Arden Dombrowski a “thank you” fall fl ower basket at Committees Kick Off for her eight years as Secre-tary on the Philharmonic Executive Committee.

Big Canyon Spyglass Hill plans interesting events and speakers and were lucky to snag Gregg Schwenk, CEO and Executive Director of the Newport Beach Film Festival to speak at a luncheon. Gregg co-founded the NBFF nineteen years ago with Todd Quartararo, who today serves as Director of Marketing. We were told that the 2018 festival held the end of April screened over 350 fi lms from 50 different countries, hosted 25 spotlight and special events, as well as other interesting seminar programs.

Members obviously found great interest in the presentation because the expected twenty-minute Q&A ended up lasting forty-fi ve. Gregg nicely concluded with saying, “We are confi dent that you will fi nd our festival to be a celebration of fi lm as an art form as well as entertainment.”

The Committee held their 45th Annual Membership Tea at the lovely home of Eva Khwaja. To fully take advantage of the sparkling day, the event was held outside with a commanding view of the ocean. Suzanne Beukema and her catering entourage provided the perfect delectables to accompany the mandatory teas and wine. President Kari Kerr gave a welcoming speech to twenty-seven members and two new prospects, Ellen Reider and Gena Blount.

Also at the tea was Argyle, a puppy in training who was being exposed to Orange County social graces as a potential future member of “Guide Dogs for the Blind.” Owner Magaley Huether sat proudly at his side, knowing that one day he would be someone’s eyes and independence.

Mission San Juan Capistrano Workshopby Jean Felder

The San Juan Capistrano Mission was the venue for a very productive workshop for the California Journeys Mission program. New Committee members interested in participating in the program and veteran docents gathered together for the session. Everyone was impressed by the information and tour given by Mission staff members Megan Dukett and Lucas Scofi eld. The program for fourth grade students is in its sixth year. We thank the Mission for this wonderful partnership.

There are two other California Journeys programs just beginning their seasons: Heritage Hill and the Bowers Museum. It is not too late to sign-up as a docent. Con-tact Kim Fix to help at Heritage Hill or Audrey White for the Bowers Museum.

Attending the workshop: (Back Row) Randi Kraemer, Marie Fries, Lori Armstrong, Kathy Wopschall, Susie Gallagher. Claudia Marek, Kim Fix, (Front Row) Nancy Warzer-Brady, Stephanie Artunian, Elaine Pierce, Megan Dukett, Marlene Nielsen, Kim Weddon, Pinky Clark, Judy Burns, Jean Felder.

Saddleback Gives Backby Beth Ruegger

In keeping with the Saddleback Committee’s plan to support music programs in the Saddleback Unified School District, scholarship fund chairman Phyllis Berenbeim presented a check for $1,500 to Los Alisos Intermediate School. The Committee’s summer party donations, reinvestment funds, and other fundraising activities all contribute to this worthwhile effort.

This year’s summer party was held at the lovely Lake Forest home of Kim Fix. Kathy Wopschall and Kim planned a beautiful evening with great food, good company and wonderful music.

Upper Bay – Sixty-Two Years of Traditionsby France M-A Campbell

A few days before leaving for Houston last April, out-go-ing Society President John Mangum squeezed in a last friendly chat with members of Upper Bay Committee. He could not resist the orange cowboy hat as a souvenir of Orange County!

The Upper Bay mates followed Committee tradition for a skit at the Annual Meeting when they performed a cheery send-off at the installation of their own Mary Chelius as

President of The Committees. They proudly came in rowing their little dinghy while sing-ing, “An-

chors aweigh, my gals.” As usual, we started the year—

our sixty-second one!—as guests of Dr. Burton Karson who regaled us with a spirited lecture-perfor-mance about theme and melody in Schubert, Brahms, Chopin and Debussy. Lively discussions contin-ued afterwards during lunch.

November brought no tricks but a big treat when pipe organist Kristen Lawrence entertained us with stories

and examples about the creative and tech-nical processes involved in the production of her fourth album of original Hallow-een carols, Hallow,e’en: Night of Spirits. If Christmas has beautiful music, so should autumn!

Committees Volunteers and Czech Brass Ensemble celebrate first youth concert success!

Youth Concerts by Numbersby Patty Reilly

• 30,853 students attended Philharmonic youth concerts in 2017-2018.• 15,823 2nd graders had the opportu-nity to enjoy the Disneyland Band for the last time. • 11,501 attended the four 5th grade concerts at Segerstom Concert hall with the Philharmonic’s Orange County Youth Symphony Orchestra performing Hansel and Gretel. • 1,486 6th grade students saw the new concert “Jazz History is our History,” while 2,043 6th graders were entertained with the lively Taiko Project drummers.

We are able to provide this experience to school children to hear music and see it performed only because you, your spouses, and friends make this possible by volunteering your time and energy at the various youth concerts we provide, as well as supporting our Committees’ fundraisers.

On the right: Jean Felder, Randi Kraemer, Louella Syler, Cathy Kadison, John Park, Mary Park, Eric Kadison enjoy camaraderie at the summer party.

A Heartfelt Planby Sandy Potter

Shortly after Hurricane Harvey devastated areas in Houston in August 2017, Noam Elisha, a senior at Esperanza High School in the Placentia Yorba Linda Unifi ed School District and a member of the Orange County Youth Symphony Orchestra, initiated a plan to collect musical instruments no longer being used and send them to Houston. He had initially hoped to provide enough instruments for an entire orchestra. That didn’t quite come to fruition. However, he did obtain ten instruments including a violin, guitar, saxophone, and several clarinets and fl utes.

Noam then approached Nancy Warzer-Brady to ask the Philharmonic Society for help. Nancy contacted orchestra directors in the Placentia Yorba Linda Unifi ed School District to ask if anyone would be interested in giving the instruments a new home. She also approached the Fullerton Committee to assist with the project.

Matthew Fang, Orchestra Director of Travis Ranch Middle School, as well as Es-peranza High School where Noam was one of his students, said his middle school would be very happy to receive them. Travis Ranch, a California Distinguished Arts School, was excited about strengthening a collaborative bond with the Phil-harmonic Society.

Thus, on a warm summer day, members of the Fullerton Committee presented the instruments to Travis Ranch Middle School. This was a special moment for everyone. Noam is now at UC Berkeley studying engineering. We’ll make certain he knows his idea to pro-vide musical instruments is making one middle school very happy.

Susan Metcalf, Travis Ranch School Principal; Matthew Fang, Orchestra Director; Nick Nuss, Band Director; Fullerton Com-mittee members Maggie DuPuy, Masako Kawase, and Carole Reiner; and Nancy Warzer-Brady, Philharmonic VP Education and Community Outreach.
